Warm and friendly welcome. Offered choice of rooms. Modern spacious living rooms with nice deck and well equipped kitchen. Bathroom large and clean. Great location close to both ferries and a cross road from bus stop to Christchurch. 5 mins walk to high street with bars and restaurants and shops also close to marina

Wow. What a great establishment. The location is great everything well kept and clean. Felt safe and secure in the room. You have everything you need in the kitchen and in the bathrooms will definitely stay again if I am back in Picton. Thank you!

The room was in good condition, amenities ok and the people running the accommodation very friendly and easy to talk to. Unfortunately it wasn't very peaceful due to train and port noise also throughout the night and made it hard to sleep.

I needed a place to stay for a couple of hours and this location was perfect. The Intercity bus stop oblique opposite the hostel and the ferry terminal is next door. I booked the same day and the turn around response was exceptional and the self check in directions was easy to follow. The room was clean, the water power was strong and the kitchen was fully stock.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Hostel with several full service hotel rooms (which is what i had). The front door had a secure access code. The room was clean, linens soft and in good condition. The kitchen and dishes were new and in really nice condition and much better than similar hotels. Probably the best experience Ive had with any similar lodging. I slept well, but you are a couple of blocks from the ferry, so you may hear heavy trucks on the road early in the morning. It was quiet enough for me. There were multiple options for breakfast. The desk staff were responsive and made sure i had everything i needed. The towels were soft. It was a perfect fast overnight stay.

breakfast ok, a more original type of upmarket organic 'muesli' type would have worked better with a bit of fresh fruit... no problem though

The bedroom was cold with no form of heating. There were no bedside tables or any furniture other than the bed. The curtains closed but the outside lights and street lights were so bright they lit up the room. The stairs into the bathroom were tricky.

We arrived at midnight so checkin was great. Very easy. The main ussue was no heating. The window in our room was open for ventilation but at 6°C outside, it was a bit chilly, and with no heater we had to warm ourselves up. The duvet was warm though, and the bed comfortable enough. Breakfast was a bit confusing as there were what seemed to be a lot of traverllers' food lying around, with no indication of what was provided. Just had to guess. Leaving a heater in the room for us would have been helpful.
